The Player:2/18 Mike
Hughes: All Out All The Time Guy.The
Reason: They have started to fire decision makers who pass on QBs
with top five picks. There is no doubt that there is a mandate from the
owner to Draft a damn QB, or your on the employment line.

The Player:I told everyone that he was the best rusher of the off the line Linebackers three weeks ago, when you never heard anyone talking about his passrush abilities. Mel and Todd were certainly listening, as they suddenly talked about what a terrific pass rusher he was this week on First Draft.
"12/2017: There are a lot of off the ball LBs in this Draft, but I just like this kid a ton. I think he is the best blitzer of the bunch. He is also a speed guy that teams need in coverage more and more now. Great moving laterally to stay in front of the RB in traffic. He is a three down linebacker. He is fierce against the run, and has that knack for finding the ball right in the middle of the line."
He really took to his new role as an edge rusher. "All it does is build character. You become unselfish. You become more about the team and when you have that type of mindset, your individual success is going to come anyway when you’re thinking about the team," Evans said. "Those things I have learned here overall under Coach Saban, I feel like those are the most important things you can take here and to the next level." He has been an off the line LB mostly before this season. In case you hadn't noticed, the NFL has changed. LBs have to be more valuable in the passing game than the running game. But you still have to be able to stop the run. This change has worked its way down to college football. Evans has found a role in the passing game that every team needs.
He is a great blitzer off the edge, and he can drop as well. He really showed it in the Playoffs. That elevates him to the number two LB in this Draft behind Roquan Smith. He could be an interesting pick for the Pats at 32.
But maybe the most interesting aspect was that he played hurt the whole Playoffs. "I would say really don’t make the stage bigger than what it is," Evans said about playing in the Playoffs. "Play with my eyes, being able to trust my instincts and things like that. The fact that I had success playing on the stage that I did, I feel like just playing in a regular game would be a lot easier now." He actually left the game against Clemson with what looked like an ankle sprain, and still started against Georgia. "Both guys have made a significant contribution and played a lot of football around here. We think both of them are really, really good players. I think both of them have responded well as starters this spring and are starting to show some leadership. I’ve been really pleased with those guys," Saban said Evans and Hand. "So, hopefully they’ll continue to improve and grow and they’ll become the kind of people who can impact other folks on our defense, so that not only do they play great football, but they help others do the same." The
Reason:I'm
just not explaining this.

The
Team: When you have a young QB, it never hurts to get a great RB
to go along with him. Just look at what Sony Michel did for Fromm in the
Champ Game.

The Player: Jones
the II is a pure speed back with some top elusiveness outside and on the
second level. "A nightmare for defensive coordinators to prepare for," Texas
HC Tom Herman said. "A special player who is right up there with the best running backs in the nation."
He is Jamaal Charles all over again.

He has
really grown and developed in his three years at USC. "I'm so proud of Ro-Jo," Clay Helton said. "Everybody knows he's a great
runner. But when you really look at where he is from day one when he started at USC to where he is now, he's become a better pass-catcher out of the back
field. He's becoming a better 3rd-down pass-protection guy. He's really becoming a more complete player, and an every-down player. When he first came, he was a kid that you knew you could hand the ball to. Now he can go play
60-70 plays in a game, and you know he can function, and function extremely
well." Freakishly strong for a smaller back.
He ran through tackles this season more than ever before. "He's got horse legs,"
USC RB Stephen Carr said. "It's going to take a couple of body shots to take him down."
He can make you miss in a flash.

Runs behinds
his eyes as well as anyone, and is great at reading blocks. "He
reminded me of Jamaal Charles of the Kansas City Chiefs. That type of
skill set," Martin said. "Just a guy who runs and it’s easy
for him. It doesn’t look like he’s working hard and he’s running by
everyone." Plus, he was the best home run hitter in the FBS.
He has the speed that every team needs. "He's got great
potential," said an NFC scout. "He's what you want:
dynamic." Flash, bang, and he is gone.

He can score
from any spot on the field. "I haven’t seen him get run down
yet," Martin said. "No one has run him down from behind. Unless
a guy has a good angle on him, I don’t think anyone is going to catch
him. It’s good to have a home run hitter who can do that." But he
also can get the tough yard or two inside.
Explosive bursts on the second level. "Once he sees a hole and he
hits it," his teammate Aca'Cedric Ware said. "There's no
catching him." He can change an Offense and a game with one well
blocked lane. The
Reason: The.

The
Team: Ever one knows he Colts have to get help for their
O-line.

The
Player: Wynn lined up at ORG to start the practices at Mobile. Knows how to use his arms. Nice recovery. He has the suddenness to cut off the strong inside move, after he gets beat a little. He moved over to ORG as well. He dominated Hand in their first rep. He grabbed his shirt, turned as Hand tried to dip, and then shoved him to the ground with some interesting violence. He looked better at OLG than OLT, and I though he has a chance at OLT (before I saw he was
6-2;).
He was spectacular in practice in pass pro drills. He is a 1st Round OLG, who can also be an emergency OLT like Mankins. Great power
step. Great heavy hands and long arms. He has a chance to be an All-Pro
Guard for a long time.

The
Reason: Their QB has taken a beating the past couple of years, and
they have refused to help protect him. That has to stop.

The
Team:The Jets are going to need a CB
to help rebuild.

The
Player: Oliver is one of my
favorite prospects in this Draft. I love how he moves. He flies down field
half turned and 3/4 turned as fast as anyone this Draft. He has elite feet moving backwards. He has a great backpedal. Plays a little too much off. But he shuts down the right side. He can stay in pedal moving backwards for 20-yards.
He can make plays on the ball in the air.

The
Reason: The Jets are so desperate for a QB reboot that they will select
Mayfield in the top ten.

The Team:
They have their QB. "Score more points, that is one issue," Koetter said.
"The number two biggest issue is we can’t get pressure with a four-man rush. I’m not telling anybody any big secrets here. Those were our two biggest things that need to be addressed."
Now they need a guy or two who can hit the QB.

The
Player: Hand
does a great job getting up field. Great job stunting inside. Freakish player. They have to
play him out of position on the edge, and he was getting some passrush. He
might end up being a 5-Tech, or inside rusher. He can get up field fast. Nice job slanting inside and turning up field to the QB.

He just kept looking like an elite edge guy in the Champ game. Then they put a TE on him, and he punch him off and went and sacked the QB, like a veteran
OLB. Only he's the size of a 280-pound 5-Tech. He can also rush right up the middle like an elite 3-tech. He is such a unique player that he is difficult to classify. The
best comparison might be Flowers. An elite athlete at DE, with the size of
a 5-Tech.
He looked great in the champ game against Clemson. He finally looked healthy and twitchy. He can move inside and hold off the big ORG, and hold his position on the outside shoulder. He
has a nice burst up field to the QB, when the OLT gets out of position. Terrific
job stunting inside. They will line him up as a stand up rusher, and he will set the edge with some power. Takes on the pulling OG as the stand up rusher, and still sets the edge.

The
Reason: They still have garnered the least amount of sacks
in the NFL last season.

The
Team:They
need help all over the field. They need to start building the defense.

The
Player: Hubbard seems more smooth than quick twitch, but he has that knack for keep moving towards the quarterback. Too much of a one move guy, who is still learning to counter on the run. Terrific job against the Jet sweep to his side.
He decided to stay in school, and didn't have as much production as was
expected. Played the run better. He can beat the ORT to the edge, and get out to the flat and hit the RB. He will drop out of the rush, when he gets stuffed on a stunt inside, and sprint out to the flat and cover the RB.
He has nice speed, quickness and aggression on the stunt inside. He came to college as
a 6-4, 205-pound safety. He has put on 60-pounds of muscle in the past three years.
He is so fast around the corner and into the QB that he makes OLT miss. Terrific speed rusher with a great rip around the corner.
Plays that shoulders squared Option defense that you see a lot now, only he can go and hit the QB when he keeps it.
He can blast up field five yards and pressure the QB on the screen, and jump and tip the pass. Nice speed stunting inside. Nice job protecting the edge, when he extends his hands and keeps his head up to read the play. He can power through the block of the bigger guy, moving sideways to protect the sideline.
He can chip on the tight end, and still move laterally to stay in front of the QB rolling out to his side. Terrific hands an feet. Misses the snap sometimes. Great initial burst. I love his blast off. He can use it to turn speed to power, and get the ORT on
skates. Then shove him off and sack the QB. Doesn't always seem to do a lot, and then he slips
o ff the O-Tackle and hits the QB. Nice dip around the Corner on the OLT. I love the way he uses his hands. Nice club into the Dip and Rip.

The
Team:
The Broncos are QB-less and desperate. They have other needs. But the QB
situation is the kind of terror that can only cause a purging of the coaching
staff. The problem is that they are third on the QB-desperate list in
a two QB Draft.

The
Player: Price
can slide over and shove the DT slanting into him until he almost knock
him over. Great balance and heavy hands in pass pro. He can move forward to the second level and shove the LB almost off his feet. When he plays with his arms extended he is very tough to beat.
He can use his nice quick feet to shuffle sideways and use his long arms to stuff the rusher. Great strength, to hit and turn the DT with his upper body. Tough guy who plays hurt. Great six-inch punch to the inside shoulder of the DT in the rush that pops him sideways and instantly out of the rush. He just stones guys in pass pro. I mean, they just stop.
Nice job going wide to take the inside rusher going wide, so the ORT can take the outside rusher. Stays in his lane and lets defenders cross from every direction, and then smartly picks up the one who finally rushers his lane.
No trouble moving straight forward, and hitting the LB on the second level.
He just doesn't get moved backwards in pass pro. One of the most powerful ORG/OC I have seen in pass pro. Great strong hands. Lunges a little forward sometimes, but once he gets his big mitts on the
DT he is done. I'd like to see him more balanced blocking forward. He is extremely
well balanced in pass pro.
Terrific in pass pro when he short sets. He plays with nice balance and always plays with great strength. Wisconsin stopped rushing his lane in the 3rd quarter. Not as well balance against the run. He will get high sometimes when he starts moving the DT backwards.

The
Reason: The
Broncos coaches are coaching at the Senior Bowl, and could be coaching
Allen there, if he can make himself eligible for the game. And let's be
honest, they got nothing without a real NFL QB. He is only a couple
classes short of qualifying for the Senior Bowl. It appears that the
Broncos will be coaching Baker Mayfield.

The
Team:They
need some help in the middle. They have some great edgerushers that are
struggling because they get no inside push.

The
Player: Cain
has turned himself into a great weapon on the
Day Two level. He can leap up over the CB, on the third level, and seems to catch it effortlessly. He really is a big guy when you see him line up in front of a CB. Nice job shuffling his feet in front of the CB before the break. When you go high to him in the endzone he snags it every time. He just consistently finds an opening in the endzone.
He can really get up high, dive out, and snag he uncatchable ball out of bounds. Elite catching radius. Nice job reaching out his hands in front of his body when the ball is coming right into his chest. He doesn't let the ball hit is body. Great hands catcher. Nice Redzone target. He can shove off the Jam, and get wide open on the release.
He can get himself open in pattern with a great fake step outside, and burst inside.

The
Reason: They have to get Carr some
help so he can be all he can be.

The Team:
The Dolphins have a ton of age at OLB with their edge guys. They also need
a FS who can help their DBs.

The
Player: McFadden is an elite physical talent at CB. "I think it was more just trusting that he could believe in himself that he could make those plays, and now he
is," ex-teammate Marquez White said. "I think he’s the best corner in the nation just being able to play the ball at his size. He can run, play the run, play the pass. He’s a huge part of our defense."
He can play the ball in the air as well as anyone.

But there
are times when it just looks like he has no idea what is going on. If he
can put it all together mentally, he will be a Probowler. If worse comes
to worse he has the size and range to play safety as well. He can play the
ball in the air as well as anyone in this Draft. When he is focused he can
be elite in man coverage. When he looses focus he can get in trouble
quick.

The
Reason: McFadden is an inconsistent Corner, who might be best suited to
play free safety.

The Team:The
Pats have a lot of ways to go here, and a lot of guys working on it.
"There are a lot of people that go into that [team building]. The three
names that you mentioned [Dave Ziegler, Monti Ossenfort, and Richard Miller],
and many of the other pro personnel and college
scouts that work under or with those people and help to bring information
to the table that either gets used or followed up on or is used in
comparisons to try to analyze and evaluate players and talent," BB
said. "The
scouting department is a very hard-working group. They
have to cover a lot of [dudes]. The volume that they handle, it's a mountain of
information and not all of it is easy to get.

"You have all the current NFL
players, which you can probably add several hundred to the list of players
that are in the league, that are on active rosters, because you have all
the injured players and then you have players that slide on and off
rosters over the course of the season: some of those practice squad
players, some of those veterans who are on or off for other competitive
reasons as needs arise of various teams.

"Then you have all the college
players and another hundred and some underclassmen that just declared that
need to be evaluated. Some of those we anticipated. Some of them we
didn't. When you put it all together, the information and evaluations, as
I said, it's an incredible volume plus you have all the injury
information, character and personality and other things like that that
aren't really part of a football evaluation of a player on a football
field. It's another component that's a part of it. Again, those guys do a
great job of pulling all of that together. They work very hard at it.
Nick and Monti and Dave on the college and pro end,
respectively. They do a great job. As I said, they have a lot to handle.
The volume is enormous." But with Brady in his forties, they have to
build an elite power run game.

As
Brady's body inevitable declines, they will need to help and protect him
more and more each month. As we saw in the Playoffs, the League has turned
so far into the pass first ask questions later offenses that the Playoffs
were dominated by the teams that could run the ball. The Pats had a great
run game. Adams is better than any RB they had on the roster last
season.

If
they want to host the Champ Game again next year, their number one
priority is to get Brady some elite help, and not a bunch of guys he makes
better. If Gronk is gone, and the old axiom is that once you are talking about
retirement your are retired, than they will have to go TE at 31 or here
(and they will have to go TE just in case anyway). A WR need is a need for
a Number One, but not just another guy. Only they have a specific brand of
WR they seek: small, ultra quick (under 6.0 in 3-Cone and/or under 4.0 in
Short Shuttle), and great hands.

I
went with the most elite and explosive offensive player left on the
Board.

The
Reason: With
Burkhead, Bolden, and Dion Lewis free agents to be, it might be time to
pick up a true Number One Back. With the wear and tear of twenty NFL
seasons starting to show on Brady this year (missing three practices last
week), getting a great RB is an old QB's best friend.

With the age
of Brady, the offense is going to have to change if they want him to play
to 45 or 105, or whatever age they are thinking about. Having an elite
runner would take a ton of pressure off Brady, and the O-line.

It is much
easier to block for a QB when you can run play action with a home run
hitter like Jones II or Adams. It is much easier to protect the QB when
the run game has bashed into the pretty edgerushers over and over. And it
is the easiest to protection the QB when he hands the ball off to an elite
runningback.
